In this thread: All things related to the AL Champions.

Duncan's Official Team Record prediction: 90 wins
Duncan's Official Team MVP prediction: Eric Hosmer

I can't wait for this season to start. The AL Central should be a very entertaining race. I'll give brief thoughts on each team the Royals must contend with to make it back to the postseason - strengths and weaknesses.

Detroit Tigers:
Strength: The offense is still full of powerful hitters, and Miguel Cabrera may be healthier.
Weakness: Rotation is questionable after Price and Sanchez, bullpen continues to be horrible.

Cleveland Indians:
Strength: Great manager and a deep, versatile lineup.
Weakness: The rotation is a question mark past Corey Kluber, and even he has a few questions about him.

Chicago White Sox:
Strength: 1-2-3 combo of Sale, Quintana and Samardzija is pretty formidable. Offense is anchored by Jose Abreu, too.
Weakness: Defense still has major questions, and this team has 20 games to improve by if it really wants to make the playoffs.

The Royals will be a division winner IF ...
1) Ventura and Duffy combine for 375+ innings of high-quality work
2) Eric Hosmer delivers on his potential with a FULL season of success rather than bursts
3) The deeper bullpen lessens the critical load on Herrera, Davis and Holland
4) Lorenzo Cain stays healthy
5) Either Alex Rios or Kendrys Morales bounces back to 2013 form

Let's get this started!

Perhaps if there was such a rule, Lawrie would have been ejected on the spot and this whole mess could have been avoided.
I was at a game once a few years ago where Lawrie absolutely destroyed a catcher at home plate. He can't do anything like that anymore. Maybe the rules will change to prevent collisions elsewhere.

Do the new rules for catchers allow for ejection, and possible suspension and.or fine?

Inwas listening to mlb network at lunch......and the were talking about baseball typically polices itself.

I think they are pussifying the league a bit with these fines and suspensions.

Herrera didnt hit anyone.....and i dont care if he pointed at his head or his d***....

The policing was taking place.....lawrie, intent or not, learned there was repercussions to sliding in spikes way up. And he took it like a pro.

Another message was sent by herrera later, after cain is plunked. Hell, maybe the message is "your pitcher needs to get his pitches under control"

Either way.....i hate the bitch ass whining by reddick and lawrie.

Action, reaction.

Guess what.....bet the next time lawrie slides into second, he will be a little more cautious......just like how our hitters havent been able to dig in in the box quite as much as they would like to.

Herrera is a ****ing idiot for doing what he did. 5 games seems a bit extreme, but you knew a suspension was coming.

Herrera is an incredible relief pitcher; if he had wanted to hit the guy in the head, he would have hit him in the head. Why would he get a suspension for not hitting someone?

Because he did it while teams were playing under a warning. Simple as that.

Exactly. It's basically like telling MLB to GFY with your rules. Yeah, they pretty much don't like that..... You want to make some asinine statement that had ALREADY been made? Fine, but you are going to pay the price. Period.

Yeah, the whole "you have to understand that's just how Lawrie plays" and "this is a guy who once tried to throw his helmet down and it happened to hit the ump" was LOLable. Clown.

EDIT: and I don't think Lawrie should have been punished outside of Ventura's fastball.
